Tian Feng, Liu Hai and others quickly arrived in front of Cheng Yu's house.

"Just kill Cheng Yu, don't hurt the innocent!" Tian Feng gave an order, and everyone broke in.

But they searched every hall, every corner, but they didn't find a single figure.

Could it be that Cheng Yu received the news in advance and ran away?

Cheng Yuren couldn't be found, and Tian Feng and the others had no choice but to go back.

"Tian Feng is incompetent, please punish the lord."

After going back, after reporting the situation at Cheng Yu's home to Liu Fan, Tian Feng pleaded guilty to Liu Fan.

"It's not your sin, Cheng Yu is a wise man, he must have noticed something. Maybe it's my fault. Liu Fan helped Tian Feng and the others up, and said, "You said that when you went, you met a carriage, what did the horse driver look like?"

Cheng Yu ran away, and Liu Fan was indeed disappointed. With Cheng Yu's strategy, it will definitely bring him endless trouble in the future.

"The driver is an elegant elder, forty-five or sixteen years old, judging from his figure, he should be very burly." Tian Feng said, shocked in his heart: "Could it be that person Cheng Yu?"

I thought that Liu Fan once said that Cheng Yu was burly, and Cheng Yu was a literati with an elegant temperament.

If Cheng Yu ran away from their eyes, it would really be impossible to escape the blame.

Tian Feng and Liu Hai looked at Liu Fan guiltily.

"It's not him, Cheng Yu is only in his thirties. Don't feel guilty, go back and rest. Liu Fan said to Tian Feng, Liu Hai and others.

Tian Feng, Liu Hai and the others breathed a sigh of relief, saluted Liu Fan, and exited Liu Fan's room.

"This is the number of lives, it is Cheng Yu's life, and it is also my life."

After Tian Feng, Liu Hai and the others went out, Liu Fan sighed faintly.

After Liu Fan stayed in Dong'e City for another day, he left Dong'e under the escort of Xue Fang.

He led his guards across the Yellow River and came to Dongwuyang, Yangping, Leping, Yang'an, Weiguo and other counties.

Liu Fan had an in-depth understanding of the current situation in each county.

Now there is no Haoqiang family in the counties of Dongjun, and Haoqiang will either flee to other counties or be robbed by the Yellow Turban. The counties are populated by ordinary people.

Since Bu Ji brought the Yellow Turban soldiers to Dongjun, the people in the counties have been struggling to make a living.

Liu Fan confessed that Qiao Mao used the money and grain that Bu Ji had hoarded in Xiancheng to support the people of the counties in Dongjun.

Qiaomao has done a good job of this, and now the people in the counties have begun to gradually resume farming.

The main reason is that Liu Fan deterred the officials of Dongjun, coupled with Qiao Mao's stern warning, so that they did not dare to make any small moves.

At the same time, Liu Fan cleaned up Dong County, and the yellow turban of Dong County was also spread in Dong County.

There was even a rumor of using money and food to fund the people, which was an order given by Liu Fan.

The people of every household in the counties of Dongjun are grateful to Liu Fan.

Five days later, Liu Fan returned to Puyang, Dongjun County, with 200 personal guards cavalry from Weiguo County.

Luoyang, above the court.

Liu Hong sat on the couch with a bad face. glared at the princely ministers below.

The civil and military officials lowered their heads, not daring to look at the majestic Son of Heaven.

Even the great general He Jin who recorded Shangshu was the same.

Why is this happening?

Because he received the news of Dong Zhuo's defeat in Jizhou yesterday, Liu Hong was furious at today's court meeting.

Some time ago, because the main force of the Nanyang Yellow Turban was exterminated, Liu Hong also specially held a celebration banquet.

At that time, he thought that the pacification of the Yellow Turban Rebellion was already a sure thing. Dahan can finally return to stability.

Dong Zhuo is brave and well-known in the court. Liu Fan is even more famous all over the world.

No one doubts their abilities.

The celebration banquet was placed, but Dong Zhuo failed miserably. Isn't that a slap in the face?

"General, Dong Zhuo was recommended by you, don't you have something to say to me?" Liu Hong looked at He Jin, who was sitting at the top of the hundred civil and military officials, and said.

"The minister is guilty, the minister deserves to die!" He Jin got up from the seat, then knelt down in front of Liu Hong and asked for sin.

When He Jin recommended Dong Zhuo, he swore an oath. Now he gritted his teeth with hatred for Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhongying really spent my good intentions.

In the face of Liu Hong's questioning, He Jin was resigned, and he looked like he was admitting his mistakes and regretting it.

He Jin knows Liu Hong very well, he is angry now, don't touch his brow again. After Liu Hong's anger is gone, he will be clever enough to please him.

"Although you are guilty, Dong Zhuo is even more hateful. Spread my will, escort Dong Zhuo back to Beijing, and show the public. For He Jin, Liu Hong still trusts him very much. He will not be dismissed from his official post for the crime of negligence.

But for Dong Zhuo, Liu Hong has no good face, and if he doesn't behead him, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

"Your Majesty, although Dong Zhuo was brave enough to underestimate the enemy and was defeated in Jizhou, he made countless contributions in the battle of Pingqiang, and governed Hedong and Bingzhou for more than ten years. If this defeat is the only one, Dong Zhuo will be wiped out, which will not only blow the morale of our army, but also chill the people of the world. Please retract your Majesty's order and make another decision on Dong Zhuo. Zhi Jinwu got up and bowed to Liu Hong, and then persuaded him.

Zhang Rang's eyes flickered, and he took the opportunity to bow to Liu Hong: "Zhijin is reasonable."

Zhang Rang's words greatly reduced Liu Hong's murderous spirit.

Thinking of Dong Zhuo's past merits, it is really chilling to kill him so hastily.

"What does the general think about dealing with Dong Zhuo?" Liu Hong asked He Jin.

"Your Majesty, although Dong Zhuo once had merit, but this fault was too great, and not punishing him heavily was not enough to show military discipline, and the minister thought that Dong Zhuo should be dismissed from his official position and demoted to return to his hometown." He Jin said to Liu Hongjin.

This is already a relatively heavy punishment, and after decades of eunuch life, he once became a civilian. Anyone can be disheartened.

At least that's what He Jin thinks. But he had no choice, He Jin had to clear up his relationship with Dong Zhuo and regain Liu Hong's trust.

"Just as the general said!"

Liu Hong re-issued the edict.

This time, the ministers had nothing to say. The battle situation in Jizhou is too important, and it can be said that it affects the whole body.

Zhang Jiao is the soul of the Yellow Turban, the spiritual belief of the Yellow Turban, if this news spreads to various places, the Yellow Turbans that have been pacified in various places are likely to resurge.

Degraded Dong Zhuo and returned to his hometown of Longxi. It is an important turning point in Dong Zhuo's life.

When he returned, although he was a civilian, he was supported by many people.

Dong Zhuo was a good man when he was young, and he was rude and resourceful.

When Dong Zhuo was young, he traveled to the Qiang people's residences, relying on the landlord's strong background and rich assets, and interacted with the Qiang tribal chiefs.

Dong Zhuo is not only physically strong and powerful, but also proficient in martial arts, riding a horse, and can carry two bows and arrows to gallop left and right. His brutal and ferocious personality and strong physique made the local people fear him. Not only did the villagers dare not provoke him, but the surrounding Qiang people did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Many Qiang chieftains had deep contacts with Dong Zhuo, and chieftains from all over the country often brought cattle and sheep to visit Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo is a brother and sister to them, and he is very popular.

Even after Dong Zhuo was appointed as Yu Linlang, Taishou, and Assassin, there were still correspondence between them.

After Dong Zhuo returned to Longxi, many Xiliang fierce generals and warriors came to visit Dong Zhuo. Including Dong Zhuo's most important strategist in the future, Li Ru.

This laid a firm foundation for Dong Zhuo to be re-employed soon after, and Dong Zhuo at that time was a new Dong Zhuo.

Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, nothing more than that!
